Ship Change
Ship a scaffold/product change through the SWE pipeline as a GitHub-backed lifecycle: Issue → worktree branch → namespaced design doc → draft PR → cross-family --scaffold design review (posted to the PR) → implement → cross-family --code review (posted) → classifier (records mechanical vs architectural with evidence) → tracked .aar-ci checks + fake-HOME behavior smoke → fail-closed merge-when-clean. Use for any change to the product scaffold (skills, plugins, CI, the constitution). The agents ARE the engineers: a change is authored by one family and reviewed by the OTHER. ENFORCED repos can require the --code review as a native opposite-family engineer review before merge. Worktree-from-the-start — never disturbs the shared main checkout.

From the source SKILL.md
The engineering counterpart to run-experiment: where run-experiment runs a research experiment, this ships a change to the product itself. It belongs to the SWE pipeline layer (see automated-researcher/AGENTS.md "Two layers"), not the shipped research product.
What this skill does
Ship Change is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ship-change/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill

/category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Ship Change skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start.
